BIN LADEN's plans from 1990 forward, as background for
understanding the bombings o f the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi and
Tanzania on August 7, 1998. I | the collapse of
the Somali state in 1990 inspired BIN LADEN to create a plan.
| | the interviewers with a diagram. BIN LADEN
planned to start by taking over Yemen first, from there he would
then storm Saudi Arabia. BIN LADEN began training people in
Afghanistan, however, once they left Afghanistan and went back to
their religious leaders, they were told that BIN LADEN's
teachings were wrong, and BIN LADEN lost them. BIN LADEN then
joined forces with ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI. Once the Government in
Somalia fell, BIN LADEN moved to Sudan in 1991, so he could be
closer to the are a of his plan. BIN LA DEN planned to reach Yemen
through Somalia. | information from ABU HAFS
in 1991. BIN LADEN, using ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI, sent A1 Qaeda
members to Somalia by boat. ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI, arrested ALI
YOUSEF (now president of Somaliland) and put him in jail. Some
of ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI wanted to kill ALI YOUSEF, some did not.
The group that did not want to kill YOUSEF moved to Las Quory.
After this BIN LADEN determined that Somalia was not an option.
The tribe of UM RIHAN turned Somaliland into and independent
Islamic state. Since BIN LADEN could n ot base his p lan in
Somaliland he decided to go to Ogaden. | | not in
Ogaden. According to | | U.S. Cobra helicopters helped the
Ethiopians and attacked ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI in Ogaden. BIN LADEN
blamed the United Nations for his failure in Somalia and blamed
the United States for his failure in Ogaden. In 1993, BIN LADEN
decided that in order to reach his goal (of taking over Yemen &
Saudi Arabia), he must wage jihad against the U.S., so he
prepared Al Qaeda to attack American targets. BIN LADEN and Al
Qaeda used boats to move men and supplies between Kenya and
Somalia. The members of the ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI (in Somalia)
established a training camp in an area of Somalia known as Howa.
BIN LADEN realized that ITTIHAD AL ISLAMI was not interested in
helping further his policy; they simply wanted his financial
support.
In approximately 1993, BIN LADEN took another approach
and he sent Al Qaeda mem bers to Mombassa and Nairobi, Kenya.

Details: WlReference FBIHQ EC, dated 12/22/99, captioned as
above. The referenced communication furnished all SACs and LEGATs
with details regarding ongoing Usama Bin Laden operations and
threats. This EC will primarily focus on events after 12/22/99.
Arrests in Jordan

^H^/NF/OC) As you are aware, in early 12/99, the
Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate (GID) arrested
thirteen individuals who were participating in a bombing plot.
The group arrested was linked to Usa

and non-conventionai iku training,
two additional individuals believed to be connected to the
compromised Jordanian Bin Laden cell. One of the two individuals
was unidentified. The other was identified as Sa'id Abd Al-

authorities.

talkie radios rigged to function as remote detonators. The GID
also found a CD-ROM containing an explosives manual published by
Khalil Deek.
^jfS^OC/NF) Three individuals associated with this plot
remain at large. One individual (referred to above) has been
identified as Raed Mohammed Hijazi (USPER), aka Abu Ahmed
Ai-AinriKi. Raed is purportedly the leader of a separate UBL
cell. Raed Hijazi and other unidentified individuals reportedly
have plans to carry out an unspecified terrorist operation or
operations at an unknown locations. These attacks will occur at
the behest of UBL. On 12/17/99, FBIHQ issued an NLETS message to
the community relative to these events.
(U) 'tef/NF/OC) Following the arrests in Jordan, FBI New
York dispatched an ASAC and four SAs to Jordan. New York remains
involved in all related developments in Jordan, and stands ready
to respond to events worldwide.

U.S. Embassy in Amman. It is currently valid until 2005. Sa'id
indicated after his arrest that his brother had called their
parents house in Jordan from the United States on 12/13/99
stating that he intended to return to Jordan within a few days.
The Jordanians do not believe Sa'id's statement. On 12/18/99,
FBIHQ issued an NLETS message to the community relative to Hijazi
and efforts to locate him.
101 X/OC/NF) On 12/16/99, Khalil Deek aka Joseph Jacob
Adams was arrested in Pakistan and extradited to Jordan for his
role in the planned attacks in Jordan. Deek holds both Jordanian
and U.S. citizenship. Deek's roommate, Idris Ahmed, was also
arrested in Pakistan. Ahmed is a dual Pakistani and British
citizen. He remains in Pakistan. Following Deek's arrest, the
New York Field Office dispatched an investigative team that

^/OC/NF) Materials which include computers, computer
disks and pocket litter obtained from the arrests in Jordan and
Pakistan are currently being translated and evaluated for lead
purposes. Obviously, the utmost priority is to determine if
there is any information indicating future attacks and prevent
such attacks. To date, no such information has been obtained,
although further analysis of what we have learned may generate
leads for FBI field and LEGAT offices. All SACs and LEGATs are
requested to give these leads priority status when received.
Seattle Arrest of Ahmed Ressam
(LES) On the evening of 12/14/99, Benni Antoine Noris
arrived at Port Angeles, Washington from British Columbia, Canada
in a rented green Chrysler 300 Sedan with Quebec license plate
ANF304. Officers of the United States Customs Service (USCS)

Closing (U)
^§/NF/OC) In response to the threat, the FBI has taken
an aggressive posture. Numerous resources have been expended to
address the threat. In order to cover targets adequately, many
field offices have instituted 24-hour physical surveillance and
other coverage. The entire gambit of investigative possibilities
have been exhausted in response to this threat. We have also
acquired translation support from the Department of Defense and
intelligence community agencies.
(U)
j/NF/OC) In addition to law enforcement initiatives
which are being vigorously pursued, the FBI is aggressively
working with criminal and intelligence services, both domestic
and foreign, to counter this threat. FBIHQ will keep the field
advised of all further developments as they unfold.

level of planning and activity may be underway which may presage
one or more attacks. Indications of terrorist planning and
logistical preparation in recent weeks seem to focus on Saudi
Arabia and Israel as possible target locations. U.S. interests in
Saudi Arabia, particularly U.S. military interests, remain UBL's
preferred target. Al-Qaeda associated personnel also are reported
to be stepping up efforts to conduct possible attacks in Israel.
The reporting available on Al-Qaeda operations possibly being
planned for Israel contains no information on specific targets.
The current reporting sugge.srinn t ha — i nrraacafi— i a ir a t
warning is a compilation of
(U) The Al-Qaeda organization and associated
extremists are known to be searching worldwide for security
vulnerabilities which might enable a successful attack against
U.S. facilities or personnel. Lack of reporting is not
indicative of reduced risk as, in addition to the areas discussed
above, Sunni extremists are known to have associates located in
many areas worldwide. As demonstrated by the attack on the USS
Cole, they are capable of long term surveillance and planning in
a target area that enables them to recognize and exploit
vulnerabilities, including those that have a limited window of
opportunity. Historically, attack planning and execution have
taken at least several months.
>&^F) Notably, reporting has indicated that
Al-Qaeda operatives, including Abu Zubaida, have been involved in
operational planning in several different geographic locations.
Reports have noted the continued movement of personnel and
material between Afghanistan and the Arabian peninsula, as well
as between Afghanistan and Europe. Additionally, reporting
implied that support activities must be completed in the next few
jweeks, but\di^/not address specific dates.
/(5/NT) Multiple sources indicate that UBL's
organization may be in the advanced planning stages of a
terrorist attack against U.S. interests in Saudi Arabia. The
reporting involves movement of terrorists from Afghanistan
following training there. Furthermore, explosives and arms are
being smuggled into Saudi Arabia for use against U.S. and Western
targets. However, the Intelligence Community has been unable to
narrow the list of potential targets. It should be noted that
although UBL's stated preference for military targets, other
targets could include U.S. diplomatic facilities. Other possible
targets could include commercial establishments and/or businesses
which would be prominently be identified as American.

^2%NF) Several Islamic jihadists have had a
heightened interest in targeting Israel since the renewal of the
Palestinian Intifada in September 2000. In late March 2001, a
Gulf Arab extremist in Afghanistan and a colleague in Saudi
Arabia made plans to expedite work on a suspicious, probably
terrorist-related activity, which might take place in Israel.
The Afghanistan-based associate stressed the. need for haste, as
travel was planned at the end of the month.
1U) \^T/nf) Also in early March, Abu Zubaida engaged in
apparent operational preparation with colleagues in Europe and
Saudi Arabia. In particular, he planned and facilitated the
production of photographs of operatives to be used in high
quality European passports. The current status of preparation
indicates at least, several more days, and possibly weeks, are
necessary before arrangements for the passports will be
completed. Yet more time would be needed after receipt of the
passports to complete attack preparations. The use of European
passports suggests an attempt to infiltrate personnel into areas
where the holders of non-European passports likely would face '
greater scrutiny. One limiting factor which seems to be evident
is funding. Intelligence suggests that preparation is slowed by
the lack of available funding to support the operation(s) .

THIS REPORTING INDICATES A POTENTIAL FOR ATTACKS AGAINST U.S.
TARGETS ABROAD; HOWEVER, THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ATTACK IN THE

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CONSIDERS ANNIVERSARY DATES AS A KEY
THREAT INDICATOR. ALTHOUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SECURITY
PERSONNEL ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO EXCLUSIVELY RELY ON SUCH DATES TO

information:
Starting at approximately 6:30 a.m. (PST) BURNETT received
a series of three to five cellular phone calls from her husband,
THOMAS EDWARD BURNETT, JR. THOMAS BURNETT was talking quietly and
told his wife that the flight he was on had been hijacked. He
advised her he was on United Airlines flight 93 from Newark, New
Jersey to San Francisco, California. THOMAS BURNETT instructed his
wife to call the authorities and advise them that the plane had been
hijacked. The hijackers claimed to have a bomb. He also told his
wife that a passenger had been knifed.
Approximately ten minutes later DEENA BURNETT received
another call from her husband, THOMAS BURNETT. THOMAS BURNETT was
speaking in a quiet voice and asked his wife if she had heard about
any other planes. DEENA BURNETT advised her husband that two planes
had flown into the World Trade Center. THOMAS BURNETT asked if they
were commercial planes. DEENA BURNETT responded that the planes were
unidentified at the time. DEENA BURNETT stared it seemed that her
husband knew other flights had crashed into the World Trade Center,
although this was never specifically brought up. THOMAS BURNETT
mentioned during this conversation that the hijackers were talking
about flying the plane into the ground, location not specified.
Approximately five minutes■later she received another cell
phone call from her husband. BURNETT was able to determine that her
husband was using his own cellula r telephone becau se the caller
identification showed his number, _ Only one of the
calls did not show on the caller identification as she was on the
line with another call. THOMAS BURNETT advised his wife in this call
that the passenger that had been knifed had died. He told her "they"
were in the cockpit. She asked her husband to sit still. THOMAS

BURNETT asked his wife, who previously worked in the airline
industry, what was the probability of a bomb being on board the
plane. DEENA did not respond and THOMAS BURNETT stated he did not
think they had a bomb because he did not see one; only knives.
THOMAS BURNETT then told his wife "we are turning toward the World
Trade Center, no we are turning away." BURNETT then told his wife "I
have to go" and hung up the phone.
During the last call to-his wife BURNETT told her "a group
of us are getting ready to do something" and he may not speak to her
again.
DEENA BURNETT advised that her husband, other than
referring to the hijackers in the plural, never provided any
descriptive data regarding the hijackers. She never noted any
background noise other than what one would normally expect on an
airplane. DEENA BURNETT noted that her husband usually flew first
class. In closing she noted that her husband was a former college
football player and very intelligent. If he concluded he was going
to die he would not sit there, he would take action.

JEFFERSON received a phone call at approximately 8:45 a.m.
Central time, September 11, 2001 from an individual aboard a
commercial airliner. The caller identified himself as TODD BEAMER of
Cranberry, New Jersey, a passenger aboard United Airlines (UAL)
Flight 93 to San Francisco, departing at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time and
landing 11:14 a.m. Pacific time. BEAMER called to state that the
airplane was about to be highjacked. He stated that three
individuals, two wielding knives, the third with a bomb strapped to
his waist with a red belt, were preparing to take control of the
flight.
JEFFERSON estimated that she spoke to BEAMER for seven
minutes before the two highjackers armed with knives entered the
cockpit, securing the door behind them. The third highjacker with
the bomb remained in the main cabin with the passengers after closing
the privacy curtain between First Class and Economy Class. BEAMER
stated that after a short period, the aircraft maneuvered erratically
and continued to do so. He stated that the aircraft was turning
around. JEFFERSON noted that the call had an unusually low amount of
background noise.
JEFFERSON continued her conversation with BEAMER for
another eight minutes. During this time she could hear screams,
prayers, exclamations, and talk of subduing the highjackers. At no
time did she hear any discernable language other than English. At
approximately 9:00 a.m. Central time, BEAMER said that the passengers
were about to attack the highjackers.

interviewing agent and the nature of the interview, BRADSHAW provided
the following information:
BRADSHAW'S wife, SANDRA BRADSHAW, was a flight attendant on
UNITED AIRLINES, flight 93, traveling from Newark to San Francisco,
working first class passengers. SANDRA called BRADSHAW a little before
10:00 a.m. while on the flight and asked BRADSHAW if he had seen what
happened today. BRADSHAW told SANDRA that two planes had crashed into
the World Trade Center in New York City. SANDRA then told BRADSHAW
that her plane had been hijacked. She continued to state that the
plane had been hijacked by three men with dark skin, and SANDRA stated
"They almost looked Islamic." One of the hijackers was seated in first
class and SANDRA actually looked at him, this hijacker was "a little
short guy." The other hijackers were seated in the back of the plane.
SANDRA only saw the hijackers carrying knives as weapons. All three of
the hijackers put red headbands on their heads as they were hijacking
the plane. Additionally, SANDRA did not know the location of the plane
but she thought that the plane might be around the Mississippi River
because they had just passed over a river.
SANDRA stated the hijackers went up to the front of the plane
and all passengers and flight attendants were in the rear of the plane.
SANDRA told BRADSHAW that she counted about 27 people in the back of
the plane with her. The pilots were not in the back of the plane.
SANDRA did not say anything about what the hijackers said nor
the language spoken during the hijacking. Further, SANDRA did not say
if the hijackers went into the cockpit of the plane or not.
SANDRA was permitted to use the phone and speak freely,
therefore, BRADSHAW opined that the hijackers were not closely watching
the passengers. Additionally, SANDRA told BRADSHAW that the passengers
were getting hot water out of the galley and were going to rush the
hijackers.
At the end of the telephone call, SANDRA told BRADSHAW that
everyone was running up to first class and she hung up the telephone.

did refer to them as "they". She told him "they" had knives and box
cutters. She did not make any statements about the hijackers stabbing
or slashing the passengers.

being advised of the identity of the interviewing agents and the nature
of the interview, Lyzbeth Glick provided the following information:
On 09/11/2001 , at approximately 9:30 a.m., a telephone call
was received by Lvzb eth! I ~l
residence, telephone | | from Lyzbeth's husband, Jeremy
Logan Glick, male, born 09/03/1970, from a telephone on-board United
Airlines Flight #93. Jeremy was supposed to have traveled on
09/10/2001; however, a fire at the Newark airport delayed his flight by
a day. Jeremy left his residence in Hewitt, NJ, on 09/11/2001 for
Newark International Airport to board Flight #93 en route, non-stop, to
San Francisco, CA. Jeremy was presumably carrying only a small,
wheeled, carry-on suitcase and a laptop computer on the flight. Jeremy
was employed as a sales manager by Vividence, Inc., of San Mateo, CA,
(415) 305-6170, was en route to San Francisco for a meeting and was
scheduled to return on 09/12/2001.
_ Puri na the call, Jeremy initially spoke __
_and immediately asked to speak to his w ife. Lyzbeth.
After giving the telephone to Lyzbeth, [ contacted "911"
via her cellular telephone | ~| Jeremy first told Lyzbeth
that he loved her and then said that Flight #93 had been hijacked by
three "Iranian-looking" males, with dark skin and bandanas (ethnic type
as opposed to hippie type) on their heads. One of the males stated
that he was in possession of a bomb in a red box and one was armed with
a knife. Jeremy advised that the plane was approximately one hour out
of Newark and that they were over land, although it felt as if they
were circling instead of flying straight towards California. Jeremy
advised Lyzbeth that the hijackers had herded the passengers into the
rear of the plane and told them that if they did not crash into the
World Trade Center, that they were going to blow-up the plane. One of
the hijackers then told the passengers to: call their loved ones. The
three hijackers then entered the cockpit of the plane. Jeremy advised

that he was unsure if the hijackers were going to crash or blow-up the
plane.
The entire call lasted approximately fifteen to twenty
minutes. Lyzbeth could not hear any unusual sounds in the background
of the call and the connection was extremely clear, "as if he was
calling from the next'room." Jeremy was extremely calm, but sounded
very concerned and confused. Jeremy advised that the Captain had not
made any announcements and that the people were scared because they did
not know what was happening.
Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that''other passengers had contacted
their wives and husbands and asked if it were true that people were
crashing planes into the World Trade Center. Lyzbeth and her parents
had been watching news coverage of the events on the television and
were aware that at least one plane had crashed into the World Trade
Center, but neither of the Towers had fallen at the time of-Jeremy's
call. Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that he and four other male passengers
were contemplating "rushing" the hijackers and asked Lyzbeth if that
was okay with her. Lyzbeth told Jeremy that she did not know if that
was okay and asked Jeremy if any of the hijackers had guns, to which
Jeremy replied they did not.
In a joking manner,.as if ease Lyzbeth's concern, Jeremy
advised that he and approximately four other male passengers were
"going to get the butter knives." Jeremy then, seriously, told Lyzbeth
that he and the other males were organizing to "rush" the hijackers.
Jeremy told Lyzbeth that he loved her and asked her not to hang-up the
telephone.

09/10/2001; however, a fire at the Newark airport delayed his flight by
a day. Jeremy left his residence in Hewitt, NJ, on 09/11/2001 for
Newark International Airport to board Flight #93 en route, non-stop', to
San Francisco, CA. Jeremy was presumably carrying only a small,
wheeled, carry-on suitcase and a laptop computer on the flight. Jeremy

three "Iranian-looking" males, with dark skin and bandanas (ethnic type
as opposed to hippie type) on their heads. One of the males stated
that he was in possession of a bomb in a red box and one was armed with
a knife. Jeremy advised that the plane was approximately one hour out
of Newark and that they were over land, although it felt as if they
were ci rcling in stead of flying straight towards California. Jeremy
advised that the hijackers had herded the passengers into the
rear of the plane and told them that if they did not crash into the
World Trade Center, that they were going to blow-up the plane. One of
the hijackers then told the passengers to call their loved ones. The
three hijackers then entered the cockpit of the plane. Jeremy advised

was interviewed at her place of
employment, American Airlines (AA) Southeastern Reservation

After being advised of the
identity of the interviewing Agent and the nature of the
'interview, GONZALEZ provided the following information:
GONZALEZ is a Reservat ion Operations Specialist for
the AA, employee number ! She has been working for AA
for approximately 20 years. The SERO is one of several AA's
air travel reservation call centers. Their main reservation
center is located in Dallas, Texas. GONZALEZ is a supervisor
in charged of monitoring calls and coordinating any emergency
calls with their main office as necessary.
On September 11, 2001, on or about 8:20 AM, GONZALEZ
was at her desk when she received an emergency signal light on
her- telephone console. (The emergency signal can be initiated
by any AA reservation agent by. pressing a button at their
desk, whenever they receive a call deemed to be emergency in
nature.) The emergency signal light was initiated by WINSTON
SADLER, one of the reservation agent on duty, who received a
call from a woman identified as BETTY ONG. GONZALEZ monitored
the telephone conversation between SADLER and ONG. ONG
identified herself as the "number 3" flight attendant (FA) on
the AA flight number 11, from Boston to Los Angeles. ONG said
that she was sitting on the "jump seat 3R" at the rear of the
aircraft, and she advised that somebody got stabbed in
business class, onboard the airplane. At that point, GONZALEZ
contacted CRAIG MARKEE, the manager on duty at the-AA Security
Operations Control (SOC) located in Dallas, Texas. GONZALES
was coordinating the call with MARKEE while she monitored the
conversation between SADLER and ONG. ONG reported that the

get into the cockpit. GONZALES deduced later in the
conversation that the lead FA, number 1, had been seriously
stabbed and might be unconscious. The number 1 FA was on oxygen
at some point. The number 5 FA was also stabbed, but the injury
was not serious. GONZALEZ said that ONG was at the rear of the
airplane and did not see the knife weapon. GONZALEZ was
relaying the information back to MARKEE as ONG described the
situation on the airplane.
GONZALEZ advised that when SADLER pressed the emergency
button, the telephone conversation was being recorded
automatically on a Rockwell telephone recording device. The
recording device is capable of recording only up to 4 minutes.
The duration of telephone contact with ONG lasted approximately
23 to 25 minutes. She said that the recorded portion of the
conversation was provided to the FBI. The unrecorded portion of
the conversation is as follow:
ONG advised that there appeared to be two passengers
locked in the cockpit, one of which was assigned to seat 10B,
business class, under the name of AL SUGAMI (phonetic). ONG was
getting this information from other flight attendants. She did
not see the two passengers, and could not provide any physical
descriptions of them.
GONZALEZ asked ONG about the condition of all
passengers and whether the flight crew made any announcements.
ONG said that no announcements were made, and that the
passengers in coach class suspect something was going on, but
were not aware of the situation. ONG said that the First Class
passengers were moved to Coach, and that the Business Class
cabin was sprayed with possibly mace. ONG said that it was
difficult to breathe, and it was difficult to see what was going
on in the Business and First Class. ONG told GONZALEZ that she
was informed by other FA's that a passenger by the name of
DANIEL LEWIN may have been fatally wounded. GONZALEZ said that
LEWIN may have been on sit 9B, but that information is not
confirmed. ,
ONG kept GONZALEZ appraised of the flying condition of
the airplane, and that from time to time the airplane was taking
rapid descents and flying sideways, erratically. Throughout the
call, GONZALEZ did not hear much commotion on the background.
There were moments in the conversations where ONG asked for
their prayers. GONZALEZ tried to keep the line open and kept

ONG talking. At one point, ONG started to cry and said "Oh God
Oh God, what is going on!" and the call ended. GONZALEZ later
saw what happened on the television news coverage of the
destruction of the World Trade Center.
On a separate matter, GONZALEZ told the writer about

BRADSHAW asked her husband if he was aware of what was going on.
BRADSHAW responded he was watching television and was aware. SANDRA
BRADSHAW then advised her airplane had also been hijacked.
SANDRA BRADSHAW informed her husband that three hijackers
were on the airplane. All were sitting at the front of the plane and
.possessed knives. SANDRA was able to observe one of the hijackers who
was sitting at the back .of first class. She observed this individual
from behind and described him as being a little guy with light dark
skin, who looked Islamic. SANDRA also informed her husband the
hijackers had placed red bands on their heads and were at the front of
the airplane. BRADSHAW stated he took his wife's description of red
bands to mean red bandannas.
SANDRA and 27 passengers were at the back of the airplane
while she was calling her husband. During her call, SANDRA assumed the
airplane crew was still in the cockpit and in control, however, the
three hijackers were also at the front of the plane. SANDRA's view was
obstructed by the first class curtain, which prevented her from clearly
seeing all the hijackers. SANDRA informed her husband the passengers

informed her husband that everyone was running to first class and she
had to go. At this point SANDRA hung up and BRADSHAW never heard from
his wife again.
BRADSHAW believes SANDRA was calling him from a GTE telephone
which was mounted on the back of an airplane seat. The connection was
not good, and thus BRADSHAW could not hear any background conversations
or noise. Mostly, BRADSHAW heard air noise. BRADSHAW estimated the
call from SANDRA lasted five to ten minutes in length, and included
discussions between them about their family. During the conversation,
SANDRA also mentioned the plane had turned back and they were currently
located over a big river.
Following his conversation with his wife, BRADSHAW
immediately called United Airlines in Newark, New Jersey, and informed
them of his conversation with his wife . Later, BRADSHAW also spoke to

BRADSHAW expressed a willingness to meet with the FBI again

VANESSA MINTER advised that she arrived at work at the

was going to "open up the line," which resulted in she, WINSTON, and
the caller all being on the telephone line at the same time. MINTER
indicated that WINSTON was physically located on the other side of the
building from'her. WINSTON asked MINTER if she had pushed the
emergency button on her phone. When MINTER responded negatively,
WINSTON pushed the emergency button on his telephone. MINTER explained
that pushing the emergency button causes the call to be recorded and
also alerts the operations area so that one of their personnel can pick
up the call. MINTER advised that she could tell from a light on her
telephone that a supervisor from t he Oper ations Department had gotten
on the line. MINTER informed thatl I (LNU) initially picked up the
call for Operations. However, | [ appare ntly qu ickly handed the call
off to NYDIA GONZALES. MINTER advised that did not say anything
while he'was on the phone call. -
MINTER stated that the caller was calm but scared. The
caller identified herself as (First Name Unknown)(FNU) ONG. ONG
initially said she was on American Airlines flight #12. ONG then
amended her statement and said she was on flight #11 from Boston to Los
Angeles. ONG said, "We're in the air." ONG told MINTER that she was
sitting in a jump seat in the coach cabin in the back of the plane.
When ONG said she was sitting in the jump seat, MINTER realized that
ONG was either a crew member or crew-qualified. ONG stated that the #5
and the #1 had been stabbed. MINTER assumed that ONG was referring to
other crew members when she referred to #5 and #1. ONG said something
to the effect of, "It happened in the first class cabin." ONG
mentioned that they were having trouble breathing. ONG indicated that
something was in the air in the passenger cabin but did not clarify
what it was. MINTER stated that ONG did not mention anything about
oxygen masks being released. ONG said that they could not communicate
with the cockpit. ONG stated that the hijackers were in the cockpit
but did not indicate how they got in. ONG reiterated that #5 had been
stabbed but that #5 was not seriously injured. ONG said that #1 was
laying on the floor and was unconscious or dead. MINTER recalled ONG

dead. ONG stated that they were trying to get through to the medical
desk but could not get through. ONG said that there were no doctors on
board.
MINTER stated that she thought ONG was relaying information
that was being provided to her. She did not believe ONG could actually
see what was going on. ONG did not indicate how she came to be sitting
in the jump seat at the back of the plane. ONG stated that the
passengers in the coach section of the airplane did not know what was
going on.

MINTER advised that GONZALES broke into their conversation
and asked if the pilot had made any announcements. ONG responded that
no announcements had been made and added that they could not get
through to the cockpit. ONG said they could not reach the co-pilot and
stated something to the effect of, ''They're (the hijackers) already in
the cockpit." After telling GONZALES that they could not get through
to the cockpit, ONG said that the plane was descending. ONG stated
that the airplane was "flying sideways." WINSTON asked if she meant
the plane was flying erratically. ONG said "Yes." MINTER remembered
ONG saying the plane was leveling off and then that the wings were
tilting. MINTER also recalled ONG saying that, the airplane was "going
down" but thought she meant the plane was just descending rather thfre
about to crash. ■ b7c .
MINTER stated that ONG kept repeating herself during the
conversation. ONG said repeatedly that there were stabbings. MINTER
recalled hearing references to the hijackers sitting in seats 2A and 2B
in the first class cabin of the aircraft. MINTER was not sure whether
she heard the references to seats 2A and 2B during the phone call with
ONG or later while people were talking in the American Airlines
operations area. At one point during the phone conversation, ONG
requested MINTER and the other parties on the call to pray for them.
MINTER recalled that, toward the end of the conversation, ONG said "Oh
my God!" .MINTER could not recall whether she heard the "Oh my God!"
exclamation directly or was told that by someone after she got off the
call. MINTER also remembered ONG saying that some of the passengers
were moving because they were having difficulty breathing.

Following the t ermination of the telephone con versation with
ONG, MINTER talked to her | told her she
needed to write a statement documenting the conversation with ONG and
be available for a debriefing. MINTER went to a conference room and
wrote a statement describing the conversation with ONG. MINTER later
ended up in the American Airlines operations area, although she was
unsure how she got there.
While in the operations area, MINTER heard people talking
about the hijacking. MINTER recalled someone saying somet hing about
information still being accessible in the system and heard |
instruct someone to "block it," apparently to keep it from being seen
by others. MINTER advised that the flight's manifest and passenger
ticketing information were available in the operations area. Also
while in the operations area, MINTER heard that the hijackers had
purchased one-way airline tickets over the Internet.
While she was involved in the telephone conversation with
ONG, MINTER pulled up some information on the flight on her computer.
MINTER determined that flight #11 took off from Boston at 8:04 a.m.
She learned that the airplane was a 767 with 92 passengers on board.
After writing her statement, MINTER waited around the
operations area for awhile. MINTER began to feel that she was in the
way in the operations area, so she left and went back to her terminal.
At that point she felt calm and believed she was okay emotionally.
MINTER took a couple of calls at her work station. The second call was
from a woman in Denver who needed to travel to Frankfurt, Germany, for
her mother's funeral. MINTER could not do anything to help the caller
due to the suspension of all flights. The caller was upset, and that
caused MINTER to become upset. At that point, MINTER left her work
station and went to the lunch patio area. MINTER waited at the lunch
patio in case someone needed to debrief her. MINTER tried not to speak
to anyone about the telephone call with ONG, since she had been told
not to talk about the conversation. MINTER stayed until 3:30 p.m. when
she went home.

call to SADLER. SADLER explained that the telephone system operated
by AA allowed for him to be connected onto a line from one of the
agents and the agent still remain on the line. Once this was
established, SADLER immediately activated his emergency button which
further allowed the Operations Center to monitor the telephone call.
SADLER stated the individual on the telephone identified herself as
BETTY ONG (phonetic). SADLER stated that she identified herself as
being aboard Flight Number 11 as one of the Flight Attendants (FA's).
ONG further stated that people aboard the plane had entered the
cockpit and that FA's Number 1 and Number 5 had been stabbed. ONG
stated she was located in the coach area of the airplane. At one
point in the conversation, SADLER recalled that ONG stated that all
of the FA's had moved back to the coach area. ONG also stated that
she did not believe that the coach passengers were aware of the
hijacking. SADLER explained that the 767 airplane utilized by Flight
11 was sectioned into three sections, a coach area, a business area,
and.a first-class area.
ONG further stated she believed mace had been sprayed in
the business class area which made it difficult to breathe. During

the entire conversation, ONG seemed to be talking to someone else in
the background and retrieving information including the fact that the
passenger in 9B had been injured and was possibly deceased. ONG also
identified passengers seated in Seats 2A, 2B, and 10B as participating
in the hijacking. SADLER stated during the telephone conversation with
ONG other individuals on the line from the Operations Center, namely
NYDIA GONZALEZ, participated in asking questions of ONG. During these
intervals, SADLER was using his computer screen to find out information
concerning Flight 11. SADLER recalled at one point, he was monitoring
a readout on his computer screen where ground control was attempting to
notify Flight 11 that Flight 11's transponder had been turned off.
Later he checked his passenger roster to find the name of the passenger
in 9B who had been hurt and identified that passenger as DANIEL LEWIN.
SADLER recalled that ONG stated she was trying to call the
pilots in the cockpit, but was not getting a response. ONG had stated
that no announcements had been made from the cockpit. ONG stated she
attempted to find if there was a doctor onboard to assist with the
wounded. ONG informed that FA Number 1 was hurt worse than FA Number 5
and they had put oxygen on FA Number 1. ONG gave the impression that
FA Number 5 was sitting somewhere near her. ONG would state at times
that the airplane was flying erratically. SADLER recalled these
statements of erratic flying occurred several times during the
conversation. SADLER also recalled that for the moments in between the
erratic flying, the airplane seemed to be smooth in its flight path.
SADLER stated at points in the conversation, ONG would state that the
airplane was descending. SADLER stated he was convinced immediately
upon taking the call, that it was a legitimate telephone call from an
airplane because he was use to hearing the background noise given by
airplane telephones and this call had that background noise. SADLER
stated when the airplane seemed to be flown erratically, that ONG would
make statements such as "please pray for us....oh God....oh God."
SADLER stated that NYDIA GONZALEZ was in the Operations
Center monitoring the call almost immediately when he had first taken
the call. SADLER stated during the call, he had used his computer
"scratch pad" to take notes of the conversation as it occurred and
these notes were not saved, but had been converted to his handwritten
statement which had previously been provided to the interviewing agent.
SADLER stated the telephone call from ONG went through phases
of signal fade where communication did not appear to be established but
then it would always return until the very end of the call. ONG never
commented on the plane's location to SADLER's recollection. ONG never

was contacted telephonically at her residence through the DOJ
command Center at (202) 514-5000. After being advised of the identity
of the interviewing agent and the nature of the interview, Keyton
provided the following information:
Keyton was working in Ted Olson's Office this morning. She
is regularly called there to cover the telephones. At approximately
9:00am, she received a series of approximately six (6) to eight (8)
collect telephone calls. Each of the calls was an automated collect
call. There was a recording advising of the collect call and
requesting she hold for an operator. A short time later another
recording stated that all operators were busy, please hang up and try
your call later.
Keyton then received a collect call from a live operator.
The operator advised that there was an emergency collect call from
Barbara Olsen for Ted Olsen. Keyton advised that she would accept the
call. Barbara Olsen was put through and sounded hysterical. Barbara
Olsen said, "Can you tell Ted.." Keyton cut her off and said, "I'll
put him on the line."
There was a second telephone call a few to five (5) minutes
later. This time Barbara Olsen was on the line when she answered. She
called direct. It was not a collect call. Barbara Olsen said, "It's
Barbara." Keyton said, "he's on the phone with the command center,
I'll put you through."
Keyton advised that there is no caller identification feature
on the phone she was using. Keyton didn't know if Barbara Olson was
calling from the phone on the plane or from her cell phone.

Manager of Flight Services, AMERICAN AIRLINES (AA),
was advised of the identities of the interviewers and the purpose of
the interview. WOODWARD furnished the following information:
WOODWARD arrived at work on September 11, 2001, at
approximately 6:30 a.m., at the Flight Services office at Boston
LOGAN AIRPORT. He attended a meeting at approximately 6:45 a.m., in
his office with a flight attendant. The meeting lasted for 15
minutes. WOODWARD prepared for the rest of his workday and at
approximately 7:30 a.m., WOODWARD went to AA Flight 11 in order to b
check on the status of the flight and the flight attendants.
WOODWARD spoke briefly with the flight attendants and looked on board
Flight 11. WOODWARD did not notice anything which he considered to
be unusual on board Flight 11. When the flight attendants told him
they were prepared for departure, WOODWARD exited Flight 11.
At some time between 8:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m., WOODWARD was
contacted and asked to go to one of the departure gates. WOODWARD
had trouble recalling which gate he went to, but he believes he went
to Gate 31 or 32. Shortly, thereafter, WOODWARD realized a flight
attendant on board one of the flights had called the Flight Services
office to report trouble on a flight. WOODWARD then proceeded to the
Flight Services office, where he took a phone call from ANY SWEENEY
(True Name: MADELINE SWEENEY), a Flight Attendant on AA Flight 11.
The following information was relayed to WOODWARD by SWEENEY via
telephone (WOODWARD was unsure whether SWEENEY was on the on-board
phones or a cellular telephone):
"The flight has been hijacked. This flight is Flight 11
from Boston to LA. The plane is a 767. I am in the back with BETTY

Logan Airport, Boston, Massachusetts.
After being: advised of the personal an d official identities of the

Massachusetts State Police (MSP), WOODWARD provided the following
information:
WOODWARD stated he is a flight service manager for American
Airlines in Boston, Massachusetts. His job duties are to manage the
flight crews on American Airlines flights.
On September 11, 2001, WOODWARD came to work at Logan
Airport at 6:45 AM. WOODWARD was one of three managers on duty in the
AA office. Sometime after 8:00 AM, EVELYN NUNEZ, one of the other
managers, told him that two flight attendants had been stabbed and
were administered oxygen. NUNEZ stated the plane was at Gate 32 and
he went with BETH WILLIAMS to see if the plane was still there. They
went to the gate, realized the flight had left and came back
downstairs. Upon returning to the flight service office, WOODWARD
learned that- the call between NUNEZ and the flight attendant had been
disconnected.
Shortly thereafter, the AA flight attendant AMY SWEENEY
called on the airphone from Flight 11 and stated the flight had been
hijacked. SWEENEY told WOODWARD the #1 attendant (KAREN MARTIN) and
the #5 attendant (BOBBY ARUSTIGUE) has been stabbed. SWEENEY also

nurse were caring for him. SWEENEY stated that three (3) hijackers
gained access to the cockpit and the flight crew could not gain
access or communicate with the pilots or the cockpit.

was interv iewed at his residence, _
I After being advised of the identity of the interviewing
agents and the nature of the interview, Olson furnished the following
information.
Barbara Olson, Theodore's wife, was a passenger on American
Flight # 77, departing Dulles Airport at approximately 8:10am or 8:30am
this morning, bound for LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California.
At approximately 9:00am this morning, he did not look at his
watch, one of the women in his office advised him of the terrorist
attack at the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York. He went to his
back office and turned on the television. At that time they were
rerunning film of the second plane hitting the WTC.
At this time one of the women in his office told him that
Barbara was on the phone. [_ She
did not relay the call from his wife. It was someone else in the
office. At the time he was thanking God that her flight could not have
had enough time to get to New York. He picked up the call from his
wife and spoke for about one (1) minute. Barbara told him that her
plane had been hijacked. She said they had knives and box cutters. He
asked if they knew she was on the phone and she replied that they
didn't. Barbara told him that they put the passengers in the back of
the plane. She had been sitting in first class. Olson's call was then
cut off.
After the first call, Olson used his direct line to the
Attorney General, but was unable to reach him, so he called the DOJ
Command Center and requested someone come to his office. He told them
that his wife's plane had been hijacked and gave them the flight
number. He wanted to pass this information to someone who could
possibly do something.
Shortly after, the same person buzzed him again and said
Barbara was on the phone again. Barbara was put through to him.
Barbara said the pilot had announced that the plane had been hijacked.
She asked Olson what she should tell the captain to do. Olson asked

agents and the purpose of the interview, MARQCJIS provided the following
information:
On September 11, 2001, at approximately 7:25 a.m. Central
Standard Time, MARQUIS received a telephone call from the number 3
flight attendant on board Flight 11, identified by’ the crew manifest as
B.A. ONG (ONG), AA employee number 131804. This, telephone call was
.initially rpcp.ived by NIDIA GONZALES,
an AA supervisor at the Raleigh Reservations Center in
North Carolina. The call was transferred to central dispatch in Fort
Worth, Texas, because there was a disturbance on- board and the flight
crew was not able to contact the cockpit. ONG wanted central dispatch
to contact the cockpit. MARQUI.S first confirmed that ONG was an AA
flight attendant.
During this telephone call, ONG reported that there was a
passenger on board who was armed with a knife. This passenger was
seated in 10B and was identified as TOM ELSUQANI (phonetic). When
MARQUIS first heard this, he thought that the knife might have been a
Swiss army knife of some sort because it was not that uncommon for
passengers to have these. ONG then informed MARQUIS that the passenger
in seat 9R, DAVID LEWIN, had. been fatally stabbed and that the number 1
flight attendant, K.A. MARTIN (MARTIN), AA employee number 307280, had
been stabbed as well. MARTIN was in bad.shape and was currently on
oxygen. Besides these two individuals, the number 5 flight attendant, '
B. ARESTEGUI, AA employee number 167762, had been superficially wounded
by the passenger with the knife.
In addition to these injuries, there were two men trying to .
gain access to the cockpit, and by this time, all- passengers had been
removed from first class. After the men gained access to the cockpit,
ONG could hear loud arguing from the. cockpit area. ONG also mentioned
that there was something in the air that made it hard to breath. This

telephone conversation lasted from approximately 7:25 a.m. until
approximately 7:49 a.m.
There was no doctor on board Flight 11 to help the injured;
as a result, MARQUIS wanted the aircraft to land at the next available
airport. Because of the medical emergencies and the violence, MARQUIS
intended for medical personnel and law enforcement to meet the aircraft
as soon as it landed. MARQUIS had the flight tagged as a confirmed
hijacking and contacted air traf fic control (ATC) regardin g the
situation. MARQUIS informed the | | of what was
happening with Flight 11 and instructed her to contact the crew
immediately and to perform a range analysis given the amount of fuel on
the aircraft. ATC reportedly heard arguing over the microphone,
hearing a statement to the effect of "either turn back or we'll kill
you." The pilot apparently keyed the microphone at some point during
these events thereby allowing ATC to hear part of what was happening.
•It was thought that these transmissions were recorded by ATC, in this
case Boston ATC. During the time in which the telephone conversation
occurred, the aircraft flew erratically and was descending in altitude.
The transponder was turned off, but ATC was handling this flight as a
confirmed hijacking and was attempting to track it.
_ Soon after PNG hung up the telepho ne, MARQUIS received a call
from | an AA_ a t John F . Kennedy
International Airport in New York, New York. I I reported smoke
coming from the World Trad e Center and asked what was happening. Based
upon his conversation with | | MARQUIS figured the impact of Flight
11 was close to 7:49 a. m., corresponding to the end of the telephone
call from ONG. I 1 called again at approximately 8:10 a.m. and
stated that the NEW YORK PORT AUTHORITY confirmed that both towers of
the World Trade Center were on fire and that an AA aircraft was.
involved.
Although unsure, MARQUIS thought that his telephone
conversation with ONG, was recorded. He would ascertain whether the
conversation was recorded and would notify the FEDERAL BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION regarding this. The number 9 flight attendant, M.
SWEENEY, AA employee number 129043, telephoned the AA Flight Services
Department in Boston, Massachusetts.
Regarding the hijacking of Flight 77, the aircraft had
crashed before AA really knew that anything was happening on board. AA
was concentrating on Flight 11 and did not realize the peril on Flight
77 until it was too ,late.

12/12/2000, Hani Hanjour and Nawaf Alhazmi rented
the upstairs back bedroom at 2221 West Farmdale Avenue #10,
Mesa Arizona. On 12/21/2001 Hani Hanjour registered for
training at Jet Tech International, Phoenix, Arizona.
___ Hanjour and
Alhazmi at 2221 West Farmdale Avenue #10, Mesa, Arizona stated
he accompanied them to Pan Am flight school (Jet Tech
International), where Hanjour picked up his enrollment sheets.
Hanjour was going to fly Boeing 737 or 747. The total cost of
the cou rse was estimated at $14,000 which seemed strange to
| 1 as in t-he Hanjour complained about not having
money.
Hanjour how he could afford the cost of
the training and Hanjour grinned and said he would find a way.

the Tempe public library to use Internet. Hanjour and Alhazmi
chatted in Arabic in an Arabic chat room.

religious and the two prayed five times a day. Hanjour and
Alhazmi would also walk to a neighboring apartment complex to
make telephone calls from a public pay phone utilizing Capital
Hill phone cards.
the two talking about the Saudi
royal family ana now tne royal family was taking all the oil
profits for themselves and was not sharing it with the Saudi
people. The two hated the royal family. They claimed in the
past, all Saudis were perceived to be wealthy. However, after
Desert Storm, things changed with the United States taking all
of Saudi Arabia's wealth. All Saudis are no longer rich and
there are now a poor class of Saudis.
On 01/10/2001, the two signed a three-month lease
and rented a one bedroom apartment at Indian Springs Village
Apartments, 1031 South Stewart Street #2144, Mesa, Arizona.
02/08/2001, Hanjour began his training at Jet tech
International to obtain a limited type rating. Hanjour was
limited due to only having 250 hours of flight time, but had
ratings for commercial pilot, airplane multi-engine, land
instrument airplane, and airplane single-engine land. Hanjour
paid $7,495 in cash for course fees. Within days of the

ground school, it was clear to the instructors that Hanjour
could not complete the course due to language difficulties.
Hanjour was advised to withdraw from the program and
return when he spoke better English. However, Hanjour was
determined to obtain training and sought out simulator
training time. He advised the scheduling administrator that
he could not return home until he had completed some training.
He had been in the United States for some time and his father
expected him to show confirmation for his training.
Hanjour received four hours of system integration
training and over 28 hours of simulator training, exceeding
what students enrolled in the program normally receive.
Hanjour completed his simulator training on 03/16/2001 and
requested documentation from Jet Tech International detailing
his training. Jet Tech International provided Hanjour a
certificate for completing 60 hours of Boeing 737-200 systems
ground training.
Hanjour inquired about training for 757 type
aircraft and may have been directed to the Pan Am main
corporate office in Miami, Florida.
On 03/31/2001 Hani Hanjour and Nawaf Alhazmi moved
out of the Indian Springs Village Apartments, Mesa, Arizona.
A search of Sawyer School of Aviation (Sky Harbor
Airport) records revealed, Hanjour flew for training a Cessna
172SP, "aircraft single engine land" (ASEL), tail number
2461S, six times between 05/05/2000 through 09/17/2000. A
further search revealed a second record for Hanjour
identifying him as a member of a simulator club from
06/23/2001 through 07/29/2001.
According to the Salt River Project (SRP), a
utilities company, on 04/20/2001, SRP was contacted

following information:
Omer became acquainted with two individuals the first named,
Nawaf Alhazmi and the second Khalid Almihdar, approximately one to one
and a half years ago while attending.Islam religious service together.
They prayed together at a Mosque located at 7173 Saranac, San Diego,
California, (CA). Omer described his relationship with the two men as
casual friends not close friends. Omer could not provide any specific
details as to the individuals personal information or their daily b6
activities, except that they were not employed. Omer was unaware of b7c
the mens' source of income. Omer was unaware of any flight school
training taken-by the two men. He did not know if.they were commercial
airline pilots. Omer denied being a pilot nor had he ever taken flight
lessons. The last contact Omer had with the individuals was
approximately the beginning of the- year 2001. Nawaf told Omer that
Khalid had moved to Saudi Arabia and he, Nawaf, was moving to Arizona.
Nawaf did not inform Omer of the city in Arizona or the reason for
moving to Arizona. In July 2 001, Omer made an inquiry with his
landlord, | | as to the current whereabouts of Nawaf or
Khalid,. which was met with negative results. Omer would have
communicated with Nawaf through the internet or by telephone. Omer's
e-mail address is I 1
Nawaf and Khalid together approached Omer for' assistance in
learning the English language in which Omer helped Nawaf. Khalid was
not as interested in learning the language as was Nawaf. Nawaf was
particularly interested in improving his communication skills with the
American public.

After dropping classes at the language center he 'found
residency through fr iends at the Mosque. He moved into an apartment at
I I San Diego, CA. He resided there for approximately
eight months with other members of the Mosque, however, not the same
time period as Nawaf or Khalid. He then moved into an apartment thatb6
was going to be vacated by Nawaf and Khalid. Omer entered into a b7<
verbal agreement with the two men to stay in the apartment which was
located behind a Burger King restaurant off Balboa Avenue, San Diego,
CA. The two men apparently had a dispute with the apartment manager
and vacated the apartment prior to the expiration of the lease. At the
time Omer resided in the apartment, which he claims it- was
approximately one month, the lease remained in the name of Nawaf and
Khalid.

Through my signature, I confirm that I have acknowledged and

I am turning to the police because I am seriously concerned about my
Lebanese friend. He has been residing in Florida since June of last
year. This is where he attended a private flight school and
attempted to obtain his pilot's license.
In .view of the terrorist attack which occurred this week in the
United States of America, as well as media reports, I am afraid that
something may have happened to my friend. Since this time, I have
not heard from him. My last telephone conversation with him took
place on Tuesday, 9/11/2001, around 3 pm. This conversation was held
in a normal atmosphere and at no time appeared conspicuous. He asked
how I was doing and told me that he loved me. At this time, I was
still in the hospital after I had my tonsils removed. By the way, I
was just released from the hospital today.
First of all, I would like to state that my friend is the following
person:
Ziad JARRAH
DOB: 5/11/1975 in Lebanon
Address: Miami, Florida.
We met in 1996 in Greifswald. One month later we entered into a
close relationship. We have been a couple since then. At that time,
I still resided at Greifswald. Ziad was my neighbor at the local
private training college. He moved in five or six months after I
did.
Approximately three years ago, during the winter semester, I moved
from Greifswald to Bochum where I was accepted at a university. At
that time, I moved to the dormitory "House Michael," Laerholzstr. 3,
Bochum. Approximately four years ago, Ziad moved from Greifswald to
Hamburg in order to study aircraft construction at the local training
college. Originally, he wanted to study dentistry. However, he was
never accepted at a university.
In June of last year, I moved from Laerholzstr. to the dormitory
located at Stiepeler Str. This is still my current residence. I
would like to move to Stuttgart in October. This is where my parents
live. I will move into their apartment. They reside at Taubenstr. 9

at 70199 Stuttgart. I will be an intern at the hospital in
Stuttgart. You see, I am studying medicine.
Despite the distance between Hamburg and Bochum, we tried to meet on
a regular basis every two weeks. However, it was he who mostly
visited me. He used public transportation and normally stayed from
Friday to Sunday. I have been to Hamburg to see him three or four
times only. This is where he subleased a room from an older b6 _ uple

Hamburg. My friend Ziad practically moved along [with her.]
Since January or February 2000, my friend has no longer attended any
of the lectures at the technical college of higher education in
Hamburg. Even during that time, he told me about friends who
obtained their pilot licenses during their time in the German
military. He apparently was very interested in flying even as a
child. I believe this was the reason why he discontinued his
studies. Nevertheless, he is still registered at the technical
college of higher education in Hamburg, since he may, at some time,
want to continue his studies there. His parents who reside in
Beirut, Lebanon, allegedly financed his studies. I believe his
parents are very well off financially. In August of this year, I
travelled to Beirut alone to attend the wedding of his sister. I
also met his parents there. They have a rather modern attitude.
Ziad was not at the wedding personally for he was unable to get away
from flying.
In June 2000, Ziad went to America. This is where he attended a
flight school in Venice, Florida. He obtained his pilot's license
for single engine aircraft. He passed a test and was then permitted
to fly solo. I visited him in January of this year. He then flew
with me to Key West. Ziad flew himself.
Ziad's father had a heart attack in February. He then flew to Beirut
to visit him. Thereafter, he returned to the United States. Then he
changed flight schools and went from Venice to Miami. I am not even
in a position to provide you with the names of the flight schools.
There are very many of them. However, I know that the name of the
owner of the flight school in Venice is "Arne" and makes arrangements
for Germans to attend. I don't know whether this Arne is residing in
Germany or in America. Ziad resided at Venice in a communal
residence, directly on the property of the flight school. (X) ***
I was never very interested in things regarding flying.
'(X) Change/ correction:
Ziad’s communal residence is not located on the property of the flight school but in the
near proximity.

.Re: 265A-WF-222811, 09/18/2001
I always booked flights to and from Beirut via Germany or only to
Germany for him since this was cheaper. After his visit to Beirut in
February of this year, he stayed with me in Bochum for a few more
days.
We saw each other last at the end of July of this year. He spent
approximately 10 to 14 days with me at Bochum. We both stayed at my
apartment in Bochum. We spent the entire time together. During this
time, I did not study but spent all the time alone with him. Ziad
has no contacts at all in Bochum. We never met with anyone else at
that time.
Zi ad has only one relative in Germany. This is his cousin. His name
is | and he res ides at Greifswa ld where he is operating a
pizza parlor. Its name is I l and is located at
| However, Ziad and he are no
longer on speaking terms and are no longer in touch with each other.
I don't know any other acquaintances or friends of his in Germany. I
know his family in Lebanon, as stated above.
Somehow he always prevented me from meeting his people/
acquaintances. He was never interested in meeting my friends here
either. That was alright for me since we wanted to spend the little
time we had alone.
During the time when Ziad resided in Venice, we kept in touch through
e-mail. But from the time in Miami, we no longer did. He probably
would have had to always use an internet cafe. That was too
inconvenient for him so that we were in touch by phone only.
We rarely had written contact. Writing was simply not his thing. I
believe that during the entire five years, I perhaps received two
letters and a few cards from him. I will give you the cards. You
may keep them until the situation has been clarified and I know what
happened to my friend. I do want them back later, in any case.
Looking back, we spoke on the phone almost daily. I called him more
often than he did me. During recent months, he frequently had
different telephone numbers. The most recently used current numbers
are: 0019548013169 and 0019547710620. However, I am not totally
certain of the phone number mentioned last. I would have to check my
phone bills at home.
I spoke to him on the phone last on Tuesday, 9/11/2001, I believe it
was between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. I believe it was rather 3 p.m. He
called me. I took the call in my room at the Catholic Hospital in
Hattingen Blankenstein. He called me frequently during the week. I
believe it was on Thursday, on Saturday, on Sunday and on Tuesday.
However, I don't remember precisely.

Re: 265A-WF-222811, 09/18/2001
The telephone connection last Tuesday was good. There were no
background noises. During the phone call xx 2 , a lady from the
nursing staff came to my room and asked what I wanted to eat the
following day. I tried to put her off for five minutes. She
absolutely did not want to wait and I was not able to concentrate on
the call with my friend. Our telephone conversation was practically
disrupted by the nurse when I then kept it brief and told my friend
good-bye.
In the evening, it must have been around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., I found
out about the attack in the U.S. At this time, however, I did not
worry about my friend since the distance between New York and Miami
is rather great.
On Wednesday, at approximately 1 p.m., I tried to call my friend in
Miami on his cell phone (001-954-8013169.) After three rings, there
was an automated announcement in English that the person called could
not be reached at that time.
I tried to call several times on this day but I never reached him.
There was always the same announcement from a tape. I was unable to
leave a message on the mailbox (X). 3 I did not call his regular phone
number since I did not store it in my cell phone. I had hoped that
he would call me at the hospital before evening. However, he never
did so. b6

On Thursday, this is today, I was released from the hospital. This
was shortly after 10 a.m. Actually, I was to be released tomorrow.
I did not try to reach him again by phone. My friend and fellow
student,

Even prior to my release from the hospital, I saw on television that
in Florida, in a flight school, two Arabian men are [successfully]
completing pilots' training, who were brought in in connection with
the attack. These men are said to have resided at Hamburg at one
time as well.
This information on television frightened me terribly since there
were similarities to my friend. Additionally, there was the message
from the flight school on my answering machine. This upset me
terribly since it was very unusual that they call here. I was
previously never called by them here. I only remember one call from
the agent for the flight school in Germany who requested money from
Ziad. That was approximately one month ago. Ziad was in America at
this time. I informed Ziad of the phone call. He commented only
that he no longer owed them any money.

Re: 265A-WF-222811, 09/18/2001
I am turning over to the police for further processing any written
documentation from Ziad, such as postcards from him and letters
addressed to him from the AOK [health insurance], the Hamburg
Technical College of Higher Education, from a/the travel agency, as
well as a dental document [confirmation of costs.]
I have received the corresponding copies.
I will be at the apartment of my parents in Stuttgart from the
beginning of October. For this reason, I ask that the police call me
on my cell phone and send letters without any police return address
to me. I do not want to encounter any difficulties in explaining
matters to my parents. My parents were opposed to a relationship/
marriage between Ziad and me. For this reason, I kept my
relationship with Ziad a secret. My parents would prefer that I
marry a Turk. They don't know that I am still maintaining a
relationship with him. He asked my father for my hand three years
ago, but was thrown out of the house by him. They have rather great
reservations against Arabs.
I am not able to say any more regarding the entire occurrence. I am
available to you for any additional questions.
Finally, I am asked by the undersigned to call the phone number
located on my answering machine of the flight school in Florida. I
agree to do so.
First attempt (approximately 10 p.m.):
A male voice is answering on the other end of the line and haj^,. 5 up
after Mrs. Sangiin says her first name.
Second attempt (two minutes later):
A female voice answers in English and promises, after Ms. Sengun
introduced herself, that she would be connected immediately. After a
short while, a male voice answers, who after some questioning informs
Mrs. Sengun that Ziad is wanted by the police in connection with the
attack on Tuesday. When asked about the location, Ms. Sengun is
unable to provide any information. Then she is told that her friend
was no longer alive. Finally, the person who was called asked
whether Ms. Sengun could still be reached under the telephone number
and address they knew in Bochum.

would not be a problem. Thus, JAWAHIR placed both tickets and boarding
passes in one envelope. JAWAHIR also circled the gate number, gate 19,

two Mid Eastern individuals who checked in with her at the ticket
counter. JAWAHIR added that she was positive that those were the names

M Between 09/15/01 and 09/19/01 Aulaqi submitted to
four FBI interviews. In an interview on 09/17/01 Aulaqi was shown a
picture of the flight 77 hijackers and thereupon stated that he knew
Nawaf Alhazmi from the Al-Ribat mosque in San Diego. He did not
recognize Khalid Almidhdir.
m- % During the FBI interview, Aulaqi was familiar enough
with Nawaf Alhazmi to describe some of Alhazmi's personality traits.
Aulaqi considered Alhazmi to be a loner who did not have a large
circle of friends. Alhazmi was slow to enter into personal
relationships and was always very soft spoken, a very calm and
extremely nice person. Aulaqi did not see Alhazmi as a very
religious person, based on the fact that Alhazmi never wore a beard
and neglected to attend all five daily prayer sessions. Aulaqi also
was able to provide a physical description of Nawaf Alhazmi.

the interview. She then provided the following information:
JAWAHIR was asked to look at a photograph in order to
determine if she recognized the individual as a passenger on flight
175 on September 11, 2001. JAWAHIR looked at the photograph and was
unable to make a positive identification. She stated that she did
not see the two Arab males who she now knows were booked in the first
class cabin for that flight. She only saw the two Arab males who
were in the business class section because she had contact with them
at her ticket counter. Since they already had tickets, she moved
them on to the check in area.
JAWAHIR stated that she did not recognize the photograph
as either of the two men that she had dealings with on the morning of
September 11, 2001.

five hours there. He specifically remembered this event right away

Mr. Malek Seif

Dear Malek:
Please accept this letter in response to your recent
^request for an "Evalnarion" Tt i s my understanding that
1 spent two hours with
you in the simulator to assess your skill level. He
informs me that to recapture your instrument skills to
PTS Standards would involve around 20 hours of dual
.... instruction.

In light of your continuing disenchantment with Sawyer
Aviation, it is my recommendation that you pursue further
training elsewhere. Your expectations of "something for
nothing" and persistent complaints to Darrell Sawyer
concerns us all. Perhaps this it the best remedy.
Good luck in your search for a more suitable flying
environment and in the attainment of your aviation goals.
_Sincerely._
